A Billionaire CEO Brings His Child Home: The Awakening of the Stay-at-Home Dad System

"Holy crap!!! What just happened?!"

"That lane change by the streamer was amazing!!!"

"That car in front of us just stopped on the highway??? Are you crazy?!"

"I was so scared I almost had a heart attack! The anchor's reaction was too quick!"

"This driving skill is truly amazing, not the flashy kind, but a genuine life-saving skill!"

"I watched the replay three times. The anchor's reaction time was incredible—only three seconds from noticing the car in front brake to completing the lane change!"

"Brother Hao, have you ever practiced racing?"

The barrage of comments surged out like a tidal wave, densely packed, and scrolling so fast that it was impossible to keep up.

Before Chen Hao could reply, gifts started appearing on the screen—

[“Heart Fluttering” is giving away 1 pair of sunglasses!]

[“Country Life is Wonderful” - Two Sunglasses Given Away!]

[A devoted fan of Hao Ge gifted a Porsche!]

[“Don’t Drink and Drive” is giving away 5 pairs of sunglasses!]

[“Old Wang, who loves watching live streams,” has given away 1 helicopters!]

Sunglasses cost 99 Douyin coins each, a Porsche costs 1200 Douyin coins, and a helicopter costs 2999 Douyin coins.

Chen Hao's eyelids twitched; these gifts together were worth at least three or four hundred yuan.

The system notification sounds rang out in his mind in rapid succession, almost in a continuous chorus—

[Received a donation: 1 pairs of sunglasses, and gained 20 popularity points!]

[Received a donation: 2 pairs of sunglasses, and gained 40 popularity points!]

[Received a donation: 1 Porsches, gained 240 popularity points!]

[Received a donation: 5 pairs of sunglasses, and gained 99 popularity points!]

[Received donation: 1 helicopters, gained 299 popularity points!]

Current popularity rating: ...

Before Chen Hao could even see the exact popularity score, a scene suddenly appeared in his rearview mirror—

"Bang--!!!"

A loud, muffled thud came from behind him. The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly even through the car window and the wind noise on the highway.

Chen Hao glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously.

In the lane he had just been in, a silver sedan that was following behind him failed to react in time and crashed straight into the car that had suddenly stopped.

The two cars collided on the highway. The front of the silver sedan was completely embedded in the rear of the car in front, the hood was sticking up and emitting white smoke, and debris was scattered all over the ground.

If he hadn't changed lanes in time, he would be the one being rear-ended now.

Viewers in the live stream also saw this through their rearview mirrors, and the chat section exploded—

"Holy shit!!!"

"A rear-end collision!!! The car behind us crashed into us!!!"

"If the streamer hadn't changed lanes, he would have been the one who crashed into them!"

"That was incredibly close!!!"

"Host, did you have a fortune teller's prediction? You changed lanes in time to avoid a disaster!"

"It's not fortune telling, it's driving skills! It's reaction speed! It's judgment!"

"That driving skill really saved a life!"

"Cars that brake suddenly on the highway are really dangerous; the car behind them was so wronged!"

"The car behind was probably following too closely, and the anchor changed lanes before he could react."

"It harms both yourself and others! People who brake suddenly on the highway should have their licenses revoked!"

The comments were still flooding the screen when the gift effects started exploding again—

[“Don’t Drink and Drive” is giving away 1 carnival!]

Carnival - 30000 Douyin Coins.

Chen Hao's eyes widened for a moment.

30,000 Douyin coins are equivalent to 3,000 RMB.

This gift is one of the most exclusive gifts on Douyin, and it's usually only seen in the live streams of top streamers.

His live stream room, a small room that had only been running for two days and had just over two hundred fans, actually received a carnival gift.

A system notification sounded in his mind, louder than ever before—

[Received a donation: Carnival x1, gained 6000 popularity points!]

Current popularity: 7238.

More than 7,000 popularity points.

Chen Hao's fingers, gripping the steering wheel, trembled slightly.

With over 7,000 popularity points, he could suddenly exchange for a much larger amount of items.

Some of the items in the system store that were originally marked "unlocked" are now available for redemption.

But he has no interest in looking at the mall right now.

Because a voice came from the back seat—

"Dad...it's so loud..."

Shen Xiaoting's voice trembled noticeably, small and timid, as if she had been frightened.

Her eyes were wide open, her eye sockets were red, her lips were trembling slightly, and she was tightly clutching the plush rabbit's ears with both hands, curling up into a small ball in the car seat.

The loud crash, combined with the constant notifications in the live stream and the system alerts in his mind, almost made him forget that his daughter was still in the back seat.

A three-year-old child would definitely be terrified to hear such a loud crash and see a car smoking in the rearview mirror.

Chen Hao's heart clenched instantly.

He immediately switched the live stream perspective back to first-person view and quickly sent a message using his mind:

"Sorry, there was a little trouble on the way. Let me comfort my daughter first."

Then he turned all his attention to his daughter.

"Tingting, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

His voice was low and soft, the effect of his divine vocals coming naturally out, each word carrying a soothing magic.

"Dad's here, it's okay. A car accidentally bumped into us, it has nothing to do with us."

"Tingting is safe. Daddy drove very well, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at his daughter through the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with heartache and concern.

He briefly removed his right hand from the steering wheel, reaching towards the back seat in a vague, reassuring gesture.

Shen Xiaoting's eyes were red, but she didn't cry.

Looking into her father's eyes in the rearview mirror and listening to his gentle, soft voice, like cotton candy, her fear gradually dissipated.

She sniffed and whispered, "Dad... he was so loud just now..."

"Yes, it's loud because the two cars collided. Just like when you clap your hands, two things hitting each other make a sound."

Chen Hao tried his best to explain using metaphors that his daughter could understand.

"But we've already driven away and are far away from them, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Shen Xiaoting bit her lip, nodded, and hugged the plush rabbit even tighter.

She didn't speak again, but the expression on her small face clearly relaxed, and the tears in her eyes slowly receded.

Chen Hao glanced at her again in the rearview mirror to make sure she was alright before turning his attention back to the road ahead.

He took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and continued driving.
